%e history of Brazil is closely linked to a slavery regime, responsible for importingAfrican slave labor into the country, which was in force for approximately fourcenturies. As occurred in many parts of Brazil, the state of Goias also played animportant role in the history of African slavery, proved by various manuscripts ofdi&erent kinds, which mention slaves who lived in the region. %is article aims toanalyze both historically and linguistically a book of death records consisting ofecclesiastical documents, written down from 1847 to 1855, concerning the Parishof Nossa Senhora da Penha de Corumba. %e aim is to establish relations betweenthe life expectancy of black slaves, those released and those freed, based on datasuch as gender and age of the deceased. In order to achieve the objective, we compiledan inventory with information about the people described in the records,based on the model proposed by Santos and Paula (2014) and compared the dataobtained with studies that discuss the slavery period in Brazil, such as Libby andPaiva (2005), Paiva (2014), Salles (1992), among others.
